I have some perl scripts that I run in my cron jobs. These scripts email results so I'm trying to setup postfix with SMTP I've got postfix starting up automatically now. To configure it to use SMTP I followed the tutorial given in this link:
http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtp_auth_mailservers.html
However, when my script sends an email, I don't seem to receive it. I looked at /var/log/mail.log and I'm seeing the following entries which doesn't make much sense to me.

I've setup SMTP to be smtp.princeton.edu with the username/password in the sasl_passwd file as per link. What I want is to relay the message from localhost -> princeton machine which then will send the email out to the receipient.
Here is my /etc/postfix/main.cf file. I'm only pasting the relevant parts. I would appreciate if someone can give me suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong. I've search around considerably on the internet but can't seem to find a solution...
